If you set up the system for DISH Network or
ExpressVu, follow these steps to run the
receiver’s Check Switch test as required.
Primary Receiver - 2 Check Switch Tests
Follow these steps to run two Check Switch tests
on the primary receiver, which is connected to
the “Unstacked Output” jack on the interface
box. This receiver will control satellite selection.
NOTE:
The first Check Switch test finds the satellites;
the second Check Switch test configures the receiver
for those satellites.
a.
Park the vehicle in a blockage-free area.
Ensure the antenna has an unobstructed view
of the sky.
b.
Apply power to the TV and receiver. (If the
antenna is turned off, turn it back on and wait
a few minutes for startup.)
c.
Using the receiver remote, go to the “Point
Dish/Signal Strength” screen (press MENU,
6, 1, 1 on most models).
d.
Choose
Check Switch
, then press SELECT.
e.
Choose
Test
, then press SELECT.
f.
Wait at least 15 minutes before proceeding to
allow the antenna to find all of the satellites.
Disregard any messages on the TV; they do
not correctly indicate when the antenna is
ready for the next Check Switch test.
g.
After waiting 15 minutes, repeat Steps d-f to
run a second Check Switch test.
h.
Refer to the tables in Figure 24 and verify the
values displayed on your TV match those
required for your selected satellite TV service.
If your values match
, exit the menu and
allow the receiver to download the program
guide.
If your values do not match
, follow the steps
on the next page to reset the system before
retrying this procedure.
